North Korea Accidentally Bombed One Of Their Own Cities, New Report Claims

In combination with the information provided by their source, The Diplomat claim that “the incident can be independently corroborated in commercially available satellite imagery from April and May 2017.”

Had the missile been successful, it is believed that it would have landed in the northern reaches of the Sea of Japan, near the Russian coast. However, the ill-fated missile landed on the small town near the city of Tokchon – which has a population of over 200,000 people.

The missile launched was a Hwasong-12, containing a “volatile combination of hypergolic propellant and oxidizer” which “can produce massive explosions depending on how they fail,” according to The Diplomat.

“In this case, with the missile having survived its descent following an engine failure, it is likely that this facility at Tokchon experienced a large explosion upon impact,” the magazine continues. “It’s impossible to verify if the incident caused any loss of life and, given the time of day the test occurred and the location of the impact, it may be likely that few, if any, casualties resulted from the incident.”

However, looking closely at the Google imagery it is clear to see that the alleged landing site of the failed missile is alarming close to both residential and commercial buildings.

Even more alarmingly is the fact that any of the missiles North Korea continue to test have the potential to fail and land in highly populated areas, meaning that the country’s people are at grave risk as Kim Jong-un continues to try and flex his nuclear muscles. In addition, the people of Japan are also in the danger zone after North Korea began to launch its missiles over Japanese territory in August 2017.

This terrifying news combined with Donald Trump’s latest tweet (“North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!”) shows how 2018 is just getting started as potentially the scariest year the world has ever seen.
